DENVER — A group of exceptional seniors helped mold the dream team for Prospect Ridge Academy boys basketball, but on Friday at the Denver Coliseum, the No. 4 Miners woke up from a season that saw them sprinting much farther ahead than they ever had before. Top-seeded Kent Denver handed them an 84-70 loss in the Class 4A final four.
Prior to their appearance in the semifinals, the Miners had never made it out of regionals. It’s their first year up in 4A.
“This team that we had was something spectacular,” sophomore Jackson Brandt said. “We made history so much this year, and I wouldn’t want to do it without anyone but my teammates. We were all so connected and we just continued it throughout the whole year. It was just something special that we created. It sets the expectation for next year.”
